Jeremiah 2:35-37

Modern English Version

³⁵     Yet you say, “Because I am innocent,
    surely His anger shall turn away from me.”
Now I will plead with you,
    because you say, “I have not sinned.”
³⁶ Why do you go about so much
    to change your way?
You also shall be ashamed of Egypt,
    as you were ashamed of Assyria.
³⁷ Indeed, you shall go forth from him
    with your hands upon your head;
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
    and you shall not prosper in them.
